What it does

System behaviour

Mission planning, tasking and deployment for uncrewed systems.

WayForge provides a common software layer for planning, tasking and deploying uncrewed systems. It supports repeatable mission design, route control and platform coordination across land, air and maritime environments, reducing dependence on isolated vendor interfaces. Within Consilium, operators plan missions on a map, draw and validate private road networks, and drive vehicles such as the X3 tracked UGV with live telemetry, safety state and camera feeds. It can operate independently or integrate with Consilium and wider command systems.

Position in the ecosystem: Deploy WayForge as a standalone mission-planning capability, or as the tasking layer across the wider Espanaro solution set.

Three principles

The principles behind WayForge

Plan

Create routes, tasks, waypoints, operating zones and mission constraints.

Deploy

Task and control integrated platforms from secure operational environments.

Integrate

Connect multiple platform types with command systems, sensors and operational data.

The challenge

Defence, national security and critical-infrastructure operators increasingly rely on uncrewed systems, but planning and deploying them often requires separate vendor tools, specialist interfaces and manual coordination.

This creates fragmented workflows, limits interoperability and makes it harder to manage missions consistently across different platforms, environments and operating locations.

Operational value

WayForge delivers:

  • Common mission workflow
  • Platform interoperability
  • Repeatable deployment
  • Reduced operator burden
  • Faster mission preparation
The approach

WayForge provides a hardware-agnostic mission planning, tasking and deployment layer for uncrewed systems, letting operators define routes, tasks, operating constraints and mission objectives from a command post, vehicle or secure control environment, and connect platform activity with the broader operational picture.

Architecture

How it works

WayForge works in four steps, from plan to recover.

Core capabilities

Four building blocks for uncrewed-system missions

01

Mission Planning

Define routes, waypoints, tasks, objectives, operating zones and mission constraints.

02

Platform Tasking

Translate operator intent into platform-specific commands through controlled integrations.

03

Mission Execution

Monitor progress, update tasks and manage return, recovery or contingency actions.

04

Multi-Platform Integration

Provide a common workflow across different vehicles, payloads and vendor ecosystems.

Solution in action

See WayForge working

WayForge plans missions and road networks, and drives uncrewed vehicles, from within Consilium. These screens come from an Espanaro demonstration and test environment.

Vehicles, missions and road networks shown are from demonstration and test environments. Each integration is configured to the vehicles and payloads in use.

Use cases

Where WayForge makes the difference

01

Secure-Site Patrol

Plan repeatable patrol routes for UGVs around nuclear, defence, airfield and critical-infrastructure sites.

02

Perimeter & Interdiction

Task platforms to investigate alarms, inspect areas and support controlled security responses.

03

Reconnaissance & Surveillance

Plan routes and payload tasks for persistent or targeted collection missions.

04

Hazardous-Area Operations

Deploy platforms into locations where risk, contamination or access constraints limit personnel.

05

Mission Rehearsal & Trials

Design, repeat and evaluate missions within controlled test and experimentation environments.

06

Multi-Domain Coordination

Coordinate compatible land, air and maritime assets through a common planning approach.

Integration and deployment

Works with the systems you already run

WayForge provides a hardware-agnostic mission planning, tasking and deployment layer for uncrewed systems. It lets operators define routes, tasks, operating constraints and objectives from a command post, vehicle or secure control environment, and can operate independently or integrate with Consilium and wider command systems.
